Here are my blocks for this week. I'm not a 'purist' and am working from the book only, so I don't think I'll worry too much if they are mirror image or not.

I'm a little nervous to trim to size. I have this nightmare that when I get to the 230th block I'll realize I trimmed 1/4" too short!!

I just finished the first triangle (not pictured) and trimming that one to size is scary, too. I have the DJ triangle ruler and it shows the 1/4" seam allowance, so I guess I can forge ahead and trim exactly the size of the ruler. Someone please stop me if that sounds wrong.

If you have the DJ triangle, don't you have the square as well? The square is the trim size. It is 5" square for a 4.5" finished block.

Your blocks look great.
